On Sunday night, Vijay Kumar, a 42-year-old man from Achpal Garhi village, tragically died after his motorcycle fell into an unmarked excavation pit on the Pilkhuwa–Phagota road in Hapur district, India. The pit, excavated for culvert construction, lacked necessary safety features such as barricades, warning signs, and lighting, which local residents claim contributed to the accident. Despite being rushed to Siddhivinayak Hospital and later referred to Rama Medical College, Kumar was declared dead upon arrival. This incident has sparked outrage among villagers, who criticized the Public Works Department (PWD) and the contractor for negligence. In response to complaints, police have registered an FIR against the officials and contractor under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which addresses culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The investigation aims to establish accountability and assess whether safety protocols were breached. This incident has also revived memories of a similar fatal accident in Delhi's Janakpuri, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding safety at construction sites.
